Five days later, at the palace banquet in the evening, most of the officials in the court came.
The emperor did not stipulate the ranks of officials, and allowed all officials in the capital to come.
This caused a lot of discussion among the officials, who suspected that the current emperor wanted to use the palace banquet as an opportunity to announce the appointment of a crown prince to everyone.
Otherwise, why would this palace banquet be so grand?
Everyone was curious and went to the palace.
Ying Xixi appeared in front of everyone as the prince's consort tonight, so she naturally dressed up nicely.
She was already outstanding in appearance. Even though she had lived in the countryside before, Lu Ting took good care of her. She had delicate and fair skin, naturally red lips, and a slender waist that could be held in one hand.
With just a little dressing up, she looks so delicate and beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
When Lu Ting saw Ying Xixi like this, he was amazed but also a little regretful for bringing Ying Xixi back to the capital.
This kind of Xixi is his.
He just wanted to hide Xixi and not let anyone discover her beauty.
Lu Ting looked at Ying Xixi with an aggressive look, filled with deep and undisguised emotions.
When Ying Xixi met Lu Ting's gaze, she knew what this man was going to do.
The palace maid in the room bowed her head and retreated tactfully.
Lu Ting no longer restrained himself and took a step forward, wanting to kiss Ying Xixi's lips.
But Ying Xixi quickly blocked it with her hand.
Lu Ting looked at her aggrievedly, "Wife~"
The ending was so convoluted that Ying Xixi almost got goosebumps.
"Calm down, I just put on some lip balm, don't let me wipe it off. Come on, let's get out first."
Ying Xixi took Lu Ting's hand and coaxed him.
Lu Ting sighed, then took Ying Xixi's hand and reached somewhere.
"Xixi, your husband misses you very much."
Ying Xixi's ears felt a little hot. She coughed calmly and said, "I know, I know. Let's talk about it after the palace banquet is over."
Ying Xixi suddenly remembered something after she finished speaking, and looked up at Lu Ting seriously, "Lu Ting, do you believe me?"
Lu Ting was a little puzzled, but he nodded seriously, "Of course I believe you, what's wrong?"
"Well, something might happen tonight, but as long as you believe me, everything will be fine."
Ying Xixi's words were ambiguous, and Lu Ting also remembered something, and his expression immediately turned cold.
“The day we met Father, I noticed something was wrong with the way that woman looked at you.
If she wants to attack you, it would be tonight, my dear. Did you notice something that makes you say that? "
"I'm just guessing. I don't know if she will really do anything to me. Anyway, I will be careful tonight. Don't worry too much."
Ying Xixi looked at the man with a dark face and felt that this man was really shrewd and nothing could be hidden from him.
However, Lu Ting was telling the truth and would not hide anything from her.
"I'll try my best to keep an eye on you tonight, and if you want to go out, I'll go with you."
There was a coldness in Lu Ting's eyes, and hatred towards that woman.
He knew that woman; she could do anything crazy for Lu Zi!
If she really set her sights on Xixi, she would never give up until she succeeded!
He would never allow her to bully Xixi!
Many people came to the palace banquet, and Ying Xixi felt that perhaps all the officials on duty in the capital had come.
The emperor sat on a high throne, and next to him sat the imperial concubine who was still graceful and elegant.
The Queen had always been in poor health, and she would even excuse herself from attending palace banquets due to illness.
The imperial concubine sat in the position that originally belonged to the queen, and she looked more like a queen than the queen herself.
The seats at the banquet were divided into two sections, men's and women's, so Ying Xixi and Lu Ting had to sit separately.
As for their baby Lu Xinli, he was sitting in the emperor's arms, looking down at the people below.
The little guy is very delicate and looks a bit like the emperor.
As soon as everyone saw the little guy, they understood the emperor's intention of holding a palace banquet tonight.
I'm afraid it's time to introduce this child to everyone.
I just don’t know whether this child is the emperor’s child or the child of some prince or nobleman.
"My dear ministers, I would like to introduce someone to you tonight."
The emperor said his opening remarks with a smile, "This is my eldest grandson! The royal family finally has a grandchild, hahahaha!"
Everyone cooperated very well and congratulated the emperor.
Someone asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder which prince's child this prince is?"
"He's the son of my third son, Ting'er."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Everyone is more or less aware of the fact that the Third Prince ran away to make a living on his own.
Now, more than ten years have passed, and the Third Prince has returned with a son.
Then the Third Prince’s wife must be just a peasant girl who is not presentable.
Everyone looked at the unfamiliar face sitting opposite.
Ying Xixi felt everyone's gazes, and she straightened her back neither humbly nor arrogantly, allowing everyone to look at her.
She thought her appearance was acceptable. As for royal etiquette, the emperor had asked a nanny to teach her in the past few days, and she had almost learned it.
She was confident that no one would find fault with her and embarrass Lu Ting.
Just as Ying Xixi thought, no one had much to say about her appearance.
Even though everyone thinks her status is not worthy of the royal family, she gave birth to a son, who is a hero in the royal family!
After all, none of the princes and nobles in the royal family today are able to give birth to children.
At a palace banquet, everyone had different thoughts.
Everyone was guessing what the emperor was thinking. Previously, the fourth prince was the most likely to become the crown prince, but now the third prince has returned with his son.
Will the position of crown prince fall to the Third Prince or his son?
Ying Xixi had no idea what everyone was thinking; she was concentrating on eating the food in front of her.
As expected of food made by the royal chef, it tastes quite good.
"Madam, let me pour you some wine."
A voice came from behind her. Ying Xixi turned her head and glanced at the palace maid holding a pot of wine. "I don't drink, no need to pour it."
"Madam, let me pour you some tea."
As the servant said this, without waiting for Ying Xixi to say anything else, she stretched out her hand holding the small pot.
Then he shuddered and 'accidentally' spilled the entire pot of wine on Ying Xixi's clothes.
Ying Xixi: “….”
The imperial concubine's method is too old-fashioned.
Can you think of something new?
She could guess what would happen next!
"Madam, please forgive me! I didn't mean it!"
The palace maid fell to her knees and begged for mercy.
At this time, the imperial concubine spoke up, "How could you be so careless as to spill wine on the princess? Take her to change her clothes."
The maid immediately agreed, "Madam, I will take you to change your clothes."
Ying Xixi pretended to stand up.
Lu Ting, who was standing opposite, witnessed all of this. He stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Father, please allow me to accompany my wife to change clothes."
